Age-old tricks: iLIVE

Robert Mugabe steals another election, but that's not enough for the ever-ambitious dictator. Now Zimbabwe wants to take South Africa's claim to having the world's oldest man.

Claims from Zimbabwe are that Oscar Munyoro Katsukunya is the oldest at 115, instead of our Nchaupe Mahlong, who is 123.

This claim goes from ambitious to insane when they say this veteran was Mugabe's primary school teacher in 1931. They obviously never taught accountancy or economics back then - look at what Mugabe did to the Zimbabwean economy.
